Chapter 152: Certification

In the room upstairs, Chen Chuan was wiping the Snow Emperor Blade behind the desk, applying maintenance oil. After today's battle, he could clearly feel that the connection between the person and the blade was deeper, and a wisp of blood line was faintly growing on the back of the blade. This should be the Mutated Tissue within the blade also undergoing transformation, but this is not a bad thing. While wiping, he was also replaying today's battle in his mind, examining his shortcomings to see if he could do better. In fact, Quan Shi letting him sit so close to himself today already determined the outcome. Because within this distance, he could unleash all of his Speed and Strength. In the conventional competition of Martial Artists, nothing is more important than this. With Quan Shi, the combat power of the entire team, resolved, the remaining people were actually easy to deal with. But if they were allowed to fight freely... He thought for a moment. If that Bio-weapon with unknown combat power didn't participate, the result should still be no surprise, but the process might be longer, the consumption might be greater, and it might allow one or two lackeys to escape. And if the time was dragged on, another buyer entered the scene, then everything would be hard to say. He turned his gaze to the metal box placed by the wall. The Tayana Combat Spider was inside. This thing wasn't big; a briefcase could hold it, making it very convenient to carry. After listening to Hu Xian's words, he also found three high-energy nutrient cans in that building. It seemed that waking this thing up once required feeding it one can. This kind of nutrient can is relatively difficult to find and requires going through channels, mainly because the price is expensive. No wonder Quan Shi was eager to sell it; it was almost useless in his hands. This is a "pet" that only rich people can afford. At this moment, there was a forceful and rhythmic knock on the door, and a voice said, "Student Chen, are you asleep?" Chen Chuan put the Snow Emperor Blade back into its sheath, walked over, opened the door, and stepped aside. "Special Envoy Feng, please come in." Old Feng walked in, his eyes quickly and swiftly scanning the situation in the room. Then he smiled. Now is not the time to perform the task, his professional habits cannot be changed. He turned around and said to Chen Chuan, "Student Chen, I just received a Telegram from above. Your matter has been confirmed." Saying that, he handed over the translated telegram. "Congratulations." Chen Chuan took it. After reading the contents, he felt certain in his heart. He looked up and said, "Thank you, Special Envoy Feng. Thank you for personally delivering it." Old Feng smiled and said, "There's good news, of course I have to." Chen Chuan asked, "Where do I need to go?" Old Feng said, "If there is no separate notification on the Telegram, someone should come directly to find you, so you just need to stay here." "Just here?" "Yes, just here." Old Feng said, "As far as I know, the contents of the Examination are different, the completion efficiency and methods are different, and the attitude of the higher-ups is also different. Among the students who came to the Land of Chaos for Examination in the past, apart from those who gave up on their own, very few could complete it independently, and never has anyone completed it so... so efficiently. So, awarding the certificate here can be considered to have special significance." These things didn't need to be said before the exam, but after the exam, it didn't matter. Besides, students who can get this kind of certificate have almost caught the eye of the higher-ups. It's like doing a favor. Even if they didn't talk about this, he personally admired Chen Chuan because he'd seen Chen Chuan's file. Chen Chuan said, "I don't know how long I need to wait." "It shouldn't be too long, at most a few days," Old Feng said, then pretending to be serious, "But you have to pay for the accommodation yourself. The review committee will not bear it." Chen Chuan couldn't help but smile. Old Feng said, "It's getting late. We can talk about anything tomorrow, but this is the Land of Chaos. Although the Examination is over, you still need to be careful." Chen Chuan nodded. After seeing Old Feng off, he wondered if he should call Cheng Zitong. They had agreed before that once he passed the Examination, he would dial a designated number, but he didn't need to get through. But after thinking about it, he only arrived yesterday, and if he called today, Cheng Zitong might have other thoughts instead. Since it would only take a few days to get the certificate, he might as well wait until after he got the certificate to talk about it together. He went back to maintain the blade, washed up, and went back to his room to rest. The inn here was very peaceful, but the street near the Land of Chaos was very lively tonight, with telegrams coming and going non-stop. It was said that Quan Shi, who was carrying goods, met a buyer from outside today and tried to double-cross them again, but was completely resolved by the experts around the buyer. Moreover, the buyer had a great background, even Mr. Bluebird didn't dare to stay and left after coming. Because Mr. Bluebird never mentioned this matter afterwards, some forces in the Land of Chaos who were originally not concerned about this matter also became very interested and wanted the informants staying in the town to find out what was going on and who the buyer was, but they didn't get any useful clues for a while. Three days later, a special train drove into the train station. After stopping steadily, from above came a group of people wearing black coats. Each of these people had sharp eyes. When they came out, the security personnel with guns around the station all raised their hands in salute. The middle-aged man with a square face in the middle was Commissioner Cao, who personally sent the Examination documents to Chen Chuan that day. After walking out of the station, he looked at the snow outside the square and said, "I remember when I took the Examination, it was also snowing at that time. In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed, and this place hasn't changed much." The person next to him said, "Commissioner, the place hasn't changed, but people are different." "Yes." Commissioner Cao emphasized, "People are different." At this time, cars drove out of the station behind them and stopped to the side, but they all stood still. After waiting for a few minutes, a car drove over from the road opposite and stopped not far in front of them after entering the snow-white square. The car door opened, and Old Feng walked out, came to him, stretched out his hand and shook hands with him, and said with a smile, "Commissioner, I've been waiting for a long time." Commissioner Cao shook hands with him vigorously, "Old Feng, thank you for your hard work. Is the person still there?" Old Feng said, "The person is still there. Don't mention it, this Examination was the most motivated one I've ever had. That kid is really inspiring." Commissioner Cao said, "Young people should be like this." Old Feng said, stepping aside, "Get in my car." Commissioner Cao nodded and walked over there, saying as he walked, "Don't take me into a ditch." Old Feng pointed at him and said, "You're holding a grudge, it's been twenty years, and you're still mentioning this." Commissioner Cao got into his car and said, "Revisiting the old place, of course, I'm bringing up old things. It's hard not to think about it." As he got into the car, the others also got into the cars on both sides. The doors slammed shut, and a long line of cars drove towards the street where the inn was located. The car at the front drove all the way to the house where Quan Shi and others had stayed before. Commissioner Cao and Old Feng got out of the car. Old Feng said, "I'll call him..." Commissioner Cao waved his hand and walked inside. Chen Chuan had listened to Old Feng's instructions and had been waiting here early in the morning. When the people outside came in, he found that the person walking in the front was someone he had seen before. Old Feng introduced, "Student Chen, this is Commissioner Cao." Commissioner Cao said, "Student Chen, we've met once. I'm here today, commissioned by the Review Committee, to issue you the "Unlimited Self-Defense Permit'." He raised his hand, and a subordinate wearing gloves walked forward with a box, arrived in front of Chen Chuan, opened the box, and held it with both hands, showing him the things inside. Chen Chuan took a look and saw that inside was a jade card similar to a Weapon Permit, with a dark cyan color and blood-like patterns like cinnabar spreading on the surface. At this moment, his name and number were engraved on it, like the Weapon Permit, using ancient seal script. Commissioner Cao then took a booklet from another subordinate, opened it, and read it aloud on the spot: "Hereby, student Chen Chuan is granted Unlimited Defense Authority for his courage, decisiveness, and resourcefulness; A gentleman keeps his tools hidden, waiting for the opportune moment. It is hoped he will refine himself, study diligently, and never stop improving. This is a special commendation. Written by: Liang Yonghang, Head of the National Review Committee. Summer of the 93rd year of the Da Shun Republic." After speaking, he closed the book and handed it to Chen Chuan with both hands. Chen Chuan also looked serious, stepped forward, and took it with both hands. After he put it away, the person holding the box sent the box containing the "Unlimited Self-Defense Permit" in front of him. He took a breath and took out the defense permit from inside. He felt a coolness in his hand and felt a little weight. The material seemed to be of a higher quality than the Weapon Permit. Commissioner Cao then solemnly said, "Student Chen, I need to remind you that obtaining the Unlimited Self-Defense Permit is equivalent to being half an law enforcement officer. With rights, there are also obligations. If the country summons you, you can have two chances to decline. Accumulating more than two times will result in the cancellation of the certificate and Examination qualification." Chen Chuan nodded and said, "I understand." He knew very well that the rights given to him by the higher-ups would not be given for nothing. If he enjoyed the rights, then he would naturally have obligations. Commissioner Cao's expression relaxed a little and said, "Student Chen, I look forward to your future performance." Then he didn't say much more and turned around and left directly. Those subordinates also followed him out. Commissioner Cao knew in his heart that the Review Committee had a debate about whether to allow Chen Chuan to participate in this Examination. Because the number of people for the Examination each year is limited, Chen Chuan is only a first-year student, and he should give way to third-year students. However, his recommendation evaluation was too excellent, and there was no reason to stop him, but it also meant that a third-year spot would be squeezed out, which would naturally cause a debate. It was not for profit, but someone thought that his Strength might not have reached the proper level, so it would be better to suppress it and give him a chance when he was in the second grade. But some people disagreed, because in the first grade, there were three departments' evaluations, not including the Processing Bureau. This had never happened before, and it was obviously a young man with unprecedented talent who should be an exception. Now all the debate should be over. Back in the car, the subordinate asked, "Commissioner, where to next?" Commissioner Cao looked outside and said, "Since we're here, we'll go meet some old friends." After speaking, he looked ahead, "Let's go." The vehicles slowly started and quickly left here. On the other side, Chen Chuan got the certificate, and the matter of coming here was also over. He went back to the inn to pack up and prepared to go back. He originally wanted to slow down for a few days, but the Review Committee had already booked the return ticket, which was this afternoon. Thinking that the Review Committee had repeatedly emphasized the shortage of funds, he would not increase the burden. After packing up, he bid farewell to everyone in the inn and prepared to take the car. Hu Xian and Old Feng both came out to see him off. Chen Chuan said, "Sister Hu, Special Envoy Feng, I'm going back now. Take care." Old Feng solemnly said, "Take care!" Hu Xian said, "Little Brother Chen, remember to write a letter." Chen Chuan smiled, "I will." He waved to the two of them, put on the box containing the Snow Emperor Blade, carried his suitcase, and walked towards the station. Hu Xian looked at him gradually walking away and said, "I've been here for so many years. Not to mention those who are lying here forever, those who can pass the Examination are all stumbling and stumbling. I've never seen anyone like Little Brother Chen. He will definitely have great achievements in the future, but at that time, I'm afraid I'll still be here looking at this broken place." Special Envoy Feng also said with emotion, "Yes, but don't say it so miserably. This time, Little Brother Chen passed the Examination, and the higher-ups have also noticed this place. I'm afraid your position will really be moved." Hu Xian was a little surprised and said, "Then who should this place be handed over to?" Then she laughed self-deprecatingly, "Why am I worrying about that? This terrible world can turn without anyone." Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Old Feng said softly, "Yes, but the more people like you, the better." "The more people who sell their lives, the better, right?" Hu Xian tightened her collar and walked back to the inn. "Let's go, are you going to blow the cold wind here? Old Feng, if you're not cold, I'm cold." Old Feng looked up at the blue sky and smiled slightly, "Is that so, but why do I feel warm inside?"
